Vintage Bancroft Newport Wooden Tennis Racquet w/ Original Press (1960s–70s)

Step back onto the court in vintage style with this Bancroft Newport wooden tennis racquet, complete with its original wooden racquet press. Crafted in the 1960s–70s, the Newport reflects the golden age of American tennis, with a beautifully laminated ash and maple frame, deep burgundy throat accents, and original leather grip. The wooden press not only protects the frame but also adds authenticity and display value for collectors.

While the racquet remains in excellent vintage condition with vibrant decals and tight strings, the original butt cap decal is missing — a minor detail that does not detract from its charm as a collectible or display piece. Perfect for tennis history enthusiasts, decorators, or anyone seeking to bring a touch of mid-century court culture into their home.
